So I think the joke started 14 years or so ago. Every time we would travel past Catamount, on the NY Mass border, coming or going from Great Barrington, Lisa E or I would say, with an imagined accent, Suisse Hutte , you forgot to take that old sign down. Well a few weeks ago on the way back from lunch in Hillsdale, on a rare occasion when I had service on my phone, I typed the properly spelled name into Yelp and was surprised to find not only that they were still operating, but were highly rated and the photos looked amazing! I said Lisa, this is no joke, we need to eat here! We had a few hours together last night, I'm drinking a flight at a local brewery, and Lisa spontaneously called at 5 and asked for a 6 o'clock reservation on the patio. We pulled up and were blown away by how picturesque the Inn and ground were. The Swiss Hutte is an old farm house built in the mid 1800's and has been under continuous operation as an Inn for the past 50 years. The interior of the restaurant was, as one would expect, a perfect setting for dinner and drinks after winter skiing or fall hiking. We, of course, prefer al fresco 6 months out of the year, and when we were seated on the patio, the view was picture postcard perfect. We shared 2 appetizers, escargot served blazing hot in an antique porcelaine. and plump mussels in a devine wine sauce. The simple salad as my side, featured fresh sprightly greens dressed in a light creamy and flavorful dressing. I'm thinking duck, and while I'm reading the menu, all I hear from surrounding tables, I'll have the duck, we will have the duck, oh look, they are having the duck, so it's settled, I'm having the duck too! Wonderful choice, perfect in every way. Crispy skinned and moist, with the plum cherry compote a perfect foil for the rich meat. Then a wedge of the ultra crispy potato roti just an over the top dish! My pictures should and will make you long for that too! The dessert menu, verbally recited as were the specials, by our attentive server, expansive. It was so difficult to decide, but Lisa made a great choice. I don't even remember the name, but I can recall the taste. Hazelnut merengue, rich SOCO ice cream, freshly whipped cream surrounded by berries. Yeah, yum. Update: Dessert was their riff on the classic flourless pastry marjolaine nutty meringue and pastry cream, here subbing premium local ice cream for the pastry cream and served with assorted fresh berries. Give it up for food 5 stars, service 5 stars, setting 5 ; don't wait 14 years, do not pass .....go!
If you can go to Gstaad this winter, Go. If you can't, get to Swiss Hutte you will not be disappointed. The charm starts before you arrive the view of the Catamount Ski slopes is captivating and visible from almost every table in the dining room even from the bar. The only competition for the views is the call of the woodburning fireplaces that are skillfully attended. I was with 3 other diners and we all ordered unique appetizers, entrees, desserts everything was memorable and served by an attentive, friendly and skilled staff. (important to note this was a difficult to please NYC crowd). We stayed in the inn and found the accommodations to be clean, comfortable, inviting and cozily warm on bitter cold February night. Seldom have I visited an out of town restaurant and known I would be back. I know I will return to the Swiss Hutte. PS Be sure to meet Bentley, the resident golden retriever, who is tucked away behind a gate and rightfully has a devoted following all of his own.
My husband (German and myself as well as my family who have a vacation home in Hillsdale, love the Swiss Hutte. We have had many memorable meals here over the years. In the warmer season you can enjoy al fresco dining. In the fall the beautiful foliage views and winter of course the ski slopes and cozy environment. The food is always spot on and Cindy always seems to seat us in the perfect quiet location. I love the salad- and crave it! I'm dying to know the secret pickled vegetable (I have to remember to ask next time! I think it may be celery root.. Cindy is a lovely host and we always look forward to going back regardless of the holiday or occasion. I tend to order the polenta with mushroom, and pork chops with apples- simply delicious! The traditional meals and desserts are exquisite! Enjoy!
I came here over the holiday weekend with family for dinner. The meal was delicious and there were no complaints. I ordered the beef medallions and they were cooked perfectly to order and melted in your mouth. We also ordered the salmon, the sole entrée (The sole was replaced with sea bass which they had as a special because they ran out of ole), prime rib special, and the grilled chicken salad. Everybody enjoyed their meals. They usually have a lot of specials, so it is worth waiting until you are there to hear the specials before you get your heart set on one item. We ordered the crème brule for dessert and it was delicious and enough to share for the table.
